Wk 10: Sark

When I think of Moebius I always think of this character design, this or the Cop costume design from Fifth Element. Something about the bull neck and heavy forearms my eye has always picked up on in his work. Yeah I know, of the multitude of awesomeness that could be gleaned from his work why this? Tron was my introduction to Moebius and if this week has taught me anything about his work is I have a painfully small collection of his stuff around my house.

The final piece is a ink drawing on velum colored in Photoshop. You can find my preliminary sketch here if you are so inclined.

My wife has never forgiven me for taking her to see the original TRON as a date movie. Craig....I seriously dig the cop uniforms in Fifth Element. Geoff Darrow did something similar in Hard Boiled. Great looking piece. Really diggin' your color choices here.

The Rust Belt Monster Collective is six professional illustrators from Cleveland, Ohio. This is their blog, a way to get your first look at the steady flow of art from the baddest art group this side of the Cuyahoga.

On the web, the RBMC is known for their art challenges, a bi weekly illustrative gauntlet where each member is tasked with creating their version of various pop culture prompts. Along the way, the blog is also a place for each member to offer peeks into sketchbooks, hard drives, or even cocktail napkins they've doodled on.

In real life, the Monsters are known for creating live art murals, working with children, and hosting the Cleveland chapter of the Drink And Draw Social Club.

You can find out more at their website: www.rustbeltmonster.com , where all the arts cataloged, the live murals are documented, and you can even buy a thing or two.
